SuperFreakonomics... Not All That Super, Actually

Eh... it was an ok read. Freakonomics had some unique and interesting correlations, causations, and anecdotes that, while not always 100% accurate, were at least neat to read about. SuperFreakonomics, however, felt much more meandering, less focused, and at times I had a difficult time discerning what the point of some of the sections of chapters were other than to have you read about some "oh, cool, that's different" bits of information.

There are still some good nuggets in here, but don't go into it expecting a ton of hard information, decisive reasoning, or strong logic. If you expect simply some interesting pieces of information loosely tied together by topics, then you should be relatively entertained.
